Summary

[edit]
Description
English: Date acquired: January 11, 2013

Image Mission Elapsed Time (MET) Since 8 January, 2013: 187422, 187426, 187430 Image ID: 3307043, 3307044, 3307045 Instrument: Narrow Angle Camera (NAC) of the Mercury Dual Imaging System (MDIS) Center Latitude: 27.38° Center Longitude: 146.3° E Resolution: 30 meters/pixel Scale: Kertész crater is approximately 31 km (19 mi.) in diameter. Incidence Angle: 80.5° Emission Angle: 16.2° Phase Angle: 64.3°

Of Interest: This spectacular image is a mosaic of three separate NAC frames. It gives us a close-up look at the enigmatic Kertész crater and its extensive system of hollows.

These images were acquired as a high-resolution targeted observation. Targeted observations are images of a small area on Mercury's surface at resolutions much higher than the 200-meter/pixel morphology base map. It is not possible to cover all of Mercury's surface at this high resolution, but typically several areas of high scientific interest are imaged in this mode each week.
